They have kept some of the original scents as well as the original recipes, plus added more. I always buy more soap than I really need just because I love it so much! It's handcrafted and I love almost all of the scents: they also aren't overpoweringly strong. The soap doesn't irritate my somewhat sensitive skin. I've also given it as gifts!

I was screaming from the rooftops. She is extremely friendly, sweet caring, helpful and I must mention that every time she gives me a recommendation I purchase it and keep it because I love it because she's awesome and she always recommends amazing stuff. This store is clean, organize and the new manager Albie is freaking fantastic. He came from Victoria's Secret and I am so glad he got out of there and got into Sephora so I can see him again. I love this location the Salinas branch at Kohl's does not have the variety and brands I need and even if they did, I really like the customer service of the Del Monte shopping center staff I will always be back. I have been coming here for so many years I can't even count and everybody is always so sweet and friendly, but Susie is the epicenter of friendliness. I really hope corporate or management sees this to give them both a pat on the back and definitely tell Susie that people care enough to take time out of their day to find alternate ways to tell people how amazing she is.

0/10 AGAIN !!! this is my second time at this location and nothing has improved . i decided to give…read moreit a second chance but no, their customer service is TERRIBLE ! if you don't like talking to people then don't work in a retail nor a customer service job . the moment i stepped into this store the vibes were horrid . this time i came with my niece in a stroller, this employee (1) gave us the nastiest look and barely moved when i said excuse me . then once we got all our products i browsed with the baby and employee (1) purposely went in front of us and didn't even say excused me, just pushed us out of the aisle even though the aisles are double sided and she could've gone the other way, then employee (2) came up to us "can i help you find anything?" and i asked for a frosted lipstick and she looked at me like i just asked her to give me all her money and shoes ??? then turned away and said into their walkie talkie thing saying "hey team do we know of any frosted lipsticks ?" then turned to me and said no . i said "okay that's fine" and walked away . at the register the employees were looking at us like we were gonna steal all their products and sell them outside or something ?? we spent 100+ there why would we steal ? we don't even look scary so why do these employees think they can judge people for buying makeup at a makeup store ??? absolutely horrified and disgusted at the actions of the employees at this location . nothing changed for the better and nothing ever will .

And there are such wonderful natural products from shampoo and conditioner to face and body wash, to shaving/beard care, safe household cleansers, and more, all in bulk so you can refill yourself, or use one the the nice complementary jars available free. Owner Jackie is warm and welcoming. I really admire what she is doing, and how much plastic packaging waste our beautiful ocean has been spared since she has been in business!

After discussing my skincare concerns and goals, Doran went with a moisturizing facial for me, complete with a deep cleansing wash, a papaya enzyme refining peel, orange-scented aromatherapy, a relaxing scalp, neck and arm massage and she extracted all my stubborn blackheads (hardened oil in the pores). Doran carries some wonderful skincare lines, including a full line of Jan Marini products and the seaweed-focused Phytomer line. My skin has never felt so soft, quenched, dewy and radiant. My skin is still luminous days later. I love all the attention to detail at this salon: soft soothing sounds, heated massage beds, fresh linens, heated towels, energizing aromatherapy, beautiful flower bouquets and warm design colors all throughout. You can book your personal pampering appointment online (http://www.doranskincare.com). There are a wide range of treatments available, including sea-inspired body wraps, customized facials, waxing, lash extensions and make up application. Be sure to follow Doran's Facebook page and blog for lots of great beauty tips and updates. She will address any of your skincare concerns or needs with the upmost professionalism and care. I can't wait to return to Doran's beauty sanctuary.

I don't really understand why it was so hard to price check these items but he never did and turned me off on buying shoes. Nevertheless, and despite this clerk not really wanting to assist me, I tried to pay for the board and wheels at the register. The manager at the register was catty and short with me about gripping my board. She was so unpleasant it turned me off to making the purchase all together. I decided to not buy anything because the customer service was so terrible. I really wanted these items but the whole experience just really turned me off. Even the clerk tried to make fun of the DGK board I was trying to buy. I ended up going to Zumiez's a couple doors to purchase these items as the experience was much friendlier. If the customer service isn't there, I'm not buying it.

She wrote down everything she was using and really listened to me about my skin's issues. I ended up switching ALL of my makeup over to MAC that day (and I was a devout user of Bare Minerals for many, many years). I came back for my wedding makeup as well as a couple of my bridesmaids and my mother in law. We all looked FABULOUS. I got so many compliments on my skin and how radiant I looked on my wedding day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, MAC ladies! You saved my wedding and you introduced me to a much more natural looking every day face too. :)
